I think we should assume our hobbies and our rights are always at risk. The progressives among us will use anything they can to further their agendas. Never let a good disaster go unexploited! Right?

There has already been talks about banning reloading. This is nothing new. As freedom loving Americans we must always be vigilant and steadfast in our beliefs and our fight against evil. Yes evil.

There's been a run on reloading components since at least Newtown, if not since the election.

YES - NY went after gunpowder. Starting next year, ammo purchases over the Internet in NY have been banned. Since powder is classified by the ATF as "ammo" shippers are likely to refuse to deliver powder to non-FFL NY addresses.

This administration never lets the truth get in the way of a good story.I predicted,no matter what any tests actually show,the news release will be twisted to blame it on reloading powder.
Never let a crisis go to waste to further the agenda.

Then I thought about "Fast and Furious"

To further the agenda of anti-gun laws,thousands of AK's and such were allowed to escape to Mexico.

When gundealers contacted the BATF to alert them of quantity purchases,they were told "Sell them,its part of the plan"

What did our administration suppose these guns would be used for?

IMO,they knew the people of Mexico would suffer tragedies similar to Sandy Hook.How did that work out?

The only reason this plan was not successful,the truth showed up.The administration was connected to the AK's in the hands of the cartels via F+F.

Of course,the people of Mexico do suffer,it is just distant.

Embarrassing.F+F was buried.

Yet it demonstrates what the administration would do to advance the agenda.

Progress. The intent of F+F was blood and death in Mexico to advance restrictive gun laws.

It has been demonstrated that colateral damage to advance the political agenda ia a possibility.

If,indeed,it is proved that smokeless powder was used in the Boston bombs,

The only other alternative is reloading. Okay, I'll just do that then. But...Supplies are already slim. Hoarding again according to those in the know. Okay, again, I guess, It didn't seem to me like there were many people who were into reloading, but maybe a lot of folks are thinking like me.

Now comes this bombing and you know darn well if gunpowder was involved we will see a strong attempt to restrict access to it.

Our Presidency is based around a successful Chicago Politician. I grew up in the city that was dominated by crooked union thugs and mob bosses. It was pretty ugly until the Steel Mill shut down. The Italian mob problems were documented as starting in the early 1900's. I know what that means, ruthless, capable of almost anything, and regardless of party affiliation, used to making ugly back alley deals to accomplish their goals.

Okay, I'm sorry, now this is starting to sound like a bad conspiracy movie. Each fact is easily explained, but you start looking at them together they are starting to stink.

What occurs to me is this; how much time and money would it take to accumulate this list a year ago?

2) One reasonably priced AR or other similar functioning Semi(.223), 3-5 normal capacity(20-30 round) magazines and 500-1000 rounds good ammo for such.

How much time and money would it take now, and how many more jurisdictions is it going to be illegal in six months from now?

I'm not ready to put my tinfoil hat on yet, but I'm definitely a getting a great deal more skeptical. I think it's time to start looking hard at proof for any new or continuing excuses. I believe these explanations for now, but.....
